Group Mackenzie to design Vancouver police station

Architecture and engineering firm Group Mackenzie will design the city of Vancouver, Wash.'s newest police station.

The East Precinct Station, to be located at the northwest corner of Northeast 155th Avenue and Mill Plain Boulevard, will total 26,700 square feet. The police department will occupy 18,200 square feet of that space. The remaining 8,500 square feet will house the city's construction services department. The approximately 5-acre site will accommodate the station and a 2-acre neighborhood park.

Group Mackenzie recently opened an office in downtown Vancouver to serve an expanding client base in Southwest Washington. The firm has also designed police facilities for the cities of Fairview, Woodburn, Milwaukie, Tualatin and Portland.

Founded in 1960, Group Mackenzie also has offices in Portland and Seattle.
